Meet Honey - a mutt from a city animal shelter in Pittsburgh. Honey is acting as a surrogate mother to nine pups whose mother died during delivery. She is nursing the pups.
Meet Teresa Courtemanche - running for city council in Fairfield, CA. She is running to fill the position her son held when he was killed in 2008. If elected, she plans to continue her son's work by creating youth centers. I think it's awesome of her to take a stand and do it in a positive way - instead of looking for blame or trying to get even.
Meet Kristi Smith - mother of two who was covered in debt at the beginning of this year. She decided to make a change and get a hold of her finances. She beat out several other families in a competition to reduce debt and increase savings by the greatest percentage. Her prize? $10,000! Way to go!
Meet Vicky Brickey - mother of three and a volunteer Victim's advocate. She's been named a hometown hero for her 2000+ hours of service. She's in a position where she really gives of herself mentally and emotionally listening to stories of abuse.
Meet Andrea Ivory - a contender for the CNN Hero of the Year award. She is a breast cancer survivor who created the not-for-profit Florida Breast Health Initiative, which provides mammograms to low income women. Another story of not letting your circumstances bring you down, but turning it into a positive.
